What's New in Version 3?

ABCpdf now supports HTML and HTML styled text. Import HTML from
local or remote web sites. HTML styled text allows easy creation
and layout of multi-styled text; supporting text box chaining to
allow you to easily and automatically flow text through from one
area to another.

ABCpdf now supports Unicode and foreign languages. Reference fonts
from the relevant foreign language pack or embed Unicode fonts for
guaranteed fidelity of reproduction on any platform. Draw text horizontally
or vertically and quickly subset large CJK fonts with minimal use
of memory and impact on server load. See AddFont for details.

ABCpdf now allows insertion of pages from other document for seamless
joining, insertion and stitching of multiple documents into one.
See AddImage and Append for details.

ABCpdf now supports PDF encryption for secure storage of PDF documents.
You can apply user permissions and secure these permissions with
encryption keys from 40 to 128 bits in size. See Encryption for
details.

ABCpdf now supports Fields and Forms. Use placeholder fields in
your template documents to position and lay out dynamically created
elements.

ABCpdf now supports RGB, CMYK and Grayscale colors. This means
you can produce high-quality print-friendly PDFs directly from your
application.

ABCpdf now supports CCITT G4 compression for exceptionally high
compression ratios on black and white images such as faxes or scans.
It also supports EMF and WMF vector import.

ABCpdf is now even easier to use. We've made some subtle modifications
to the behavior of a number of objects including the XRect object
so that they work in line with the way that you expect rather than
the way that PDF prescribes. We've also added a new AddGrid method
to allow you to position objects more easily during development.

ABCpdf supports synthesized bold and italic typeface styles for
situations in which you do not want to reference multiple typefaces.

ABCpdf is now fully floating point for precise positioning of text,
line and other objects at a fractional point level.

ABCpdf now allows even more advanced control over any PDF object
in your document. If you can't see how to accomplish a task using
our simple to use methods then you can always access the raw PDF
structure directly. For details see the Core Objects, Specific Objects
and Object Paths sections of the documentation.
